Update from the Alumni Association
Join YOUR alumni association
Across the generations, the experience of a Jesuit education, of a St. Paul's education, binds you together in your shared formation from boys to young men and builds friendships that last throughout a lifetime. The shared memories: exams passed and failed; games won and lost; in liturgy and retreat; at dances and walks; are stepping stones in service to the mission of the school — to educate students as whole persons to become Men for Others.
The St. Paul's High School Alumni Association (SPHSAA) connects alumni by creating programming meant to engage, excite and educate. Whether it be mentorship, giving back to your community or professional development, joining the Alumni Association allows you to leverage your network.
Are you interested in bringing a voice to the table? Consider nominating yourself or a friend to join the Alumni Association Board. Contact alumni@stpauls.mb.ca by May 29, 2020 to submit a nomination.
SPEAKER SERIES
Four Generations
On October 23, 2019, more than 60 St. Paul's High School alumni attended the Alumni Associations Speaker Series presentation on Four Generations of Puchniaks. The interview left our Alumni with a feeling of awe and inspiration. The Puchniak family spoke to the timelessness of becoming "Men for Others" – and how, despite generational gaps, what ties them together is the values instilled from their education. Thank you to everyone who attended.
DRAMA RECEPTION
Showstoppers
On Friday, December 6, 2019, we held our 3rd Annual Alumni Drama Reception. It was an informal get-together before the school’s winter production of Robin Hood. Alumni covering many generations came out to catch up over some wine and cheese before the play. Thanks to Dan Kulas ’10, Gordon Auld ’10, and The Winehouse for sponsoring the evening, as well as to Paul Agasino ’15 for his hard work in putting it all together.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE
spreading cheer
On Thursday, December 12, 2019, a group of over 40 alumni, family, and friends got together to bring some holiday spirit to deserving families across the city by delivering hampers for Winnipeg's Christmas Cheer Board. Afterwards, everyone assembled at Torque Brewing (John Heim ’83 & Matt Wollf ’01) to watch a Jets game, reminisce, and enjoy complimentary pizza, courtesy of Coughlin Insurance. What a great way to end off another successful year. Hope to see you in 2020!
